evictee
Dispossessed rental occupant
An evictee is someone who has been evicted—forced to leave a property, typically by legal process.
The term appears in housing policy discussions and tenant advocacy contexts: The city opened a shelter for evictees.
Less common than eviction or evicted, it names the person on the receiving end of the action.
